Areas of expertise

• Development of methodologies for the measurement of blood-retinal barrier (BRB) permeability of the human retina, in vivo, for fluorescein.
• Multimodal Macular Mapping. The gathering of information obtained through various imaging techniques in order to establish a correlation between various parameters of the retina providing a global vision of the ongoing alterations as well as its space-time relation.
• Processing of Medical Images. The application of the most recent processing techniques of medical images to the various types of eye fundus imaging offers new perspectives on the subject and facilitates the follow-up in the daily medical practice.
